Why did /v/ lie to me and say this game was bad and woke? The gameplay is fun as hell, the atmosphere is peak, and honestly the MC in-engine looks fine, for some reason they edited her to look ugly on the cover. Anyway, after spending a good chunk of the day playing it, I thought I'd start a bread. Favorite weapons/ sub-weapons? Favorite biome? Adaptive or Classic controls? (I roll with classic)

I forget the name of it but there's a single-shot shotgun that inflicts poison. Does absolutely nonsensical damage.

I had a great time with the game but stopped when I beat it even though that run tore through multiple biomes I've only seen once as a result. Absolutely unmatched atmosphere. My favorite boss fight by far is the organist.

Because it came out at a point in time where this shithole was already filled to the brim with underaged election tourists calling everything "flavor of the month meme word"

But yeah, its great. Too bad it only sold like 2 mio and we never get spiritual successor.

Ah, I've seen that trailer. Dunno what to make of it, aside from the bullet-hell being reflected in the dude's eyes at 1:30. As long as it handles as well as Returnal, I'm sure I'll like it.

Just because some /v/irgins were too harsh on it doesn't mean you have to overrate it. The gameplay is adequate. The level design is adequate. The story is adequate, and could have been better if they left it more obviously ambiguous since the planet and cosmic horror alien is actually real, instead of leaning so heavily on "It's just trauma and all in her head," which ruined it for a lot of people.

The game is actually worse for being a roguelite. Half the weapons suck. Level design is pretty bland because of being a rogue lite, though visually it looks pretty good. 7/10 game.

i know nothing about this game other than it has a retarded name and i will never play it because it has a retarded name. "Returnal" just sounds like they were trying to copy doom eternal. I didnt even know it was a sci-fi/space game until i saw the image in the OP. All i know is i've heard pretty much nothing about it and that its name is gay as fuck.

It's just the usual "west has fallen" grievance spam, you quickly learn to identify and ignore those snowniggers.
Been eyeing this game, it seems cool and in the vein of Prey: Mooncrash? Waiting for a 75% sale though.

Incredible game.
Whoever skipped it due to 4chan making shit jokes about the MC... You are missing on a legit game.
Fast and responsive gameplay, weapons that feel different from each other AND that get subtypes and upgrades that in cases actually change how the weapon behaves, not just random "+1% dmg to undead while burning", fantastic music, pristine atmosphere...
Also barely no permanent upgrades, you get to keep your metroivania unlocks which allow you to explore more rooms in each biome so you might get more powerful and you also get permanent more trinket slots, but no passive stats, so if you want to advance in the game you have to get better and .... you do, you will get better. You will go from struggling with the first boss to clear several biomes in a single run.
My only (two) gripes with the game were that there was no reason to tell the story on such a convoluted, open, and obscure manner, game would have benefitted from a more straight narration; and that once you finish the game the first time is hard to do repeat runs. That last one might be a "me" problem as i dont really enjoy roguelites or roguelikes or whatever.

Fuck what a fantastic game.

This.
This game sucks. The roguelite aspect doesn't work with the story. And the game throws at you gimmicks to kill you.
Just make the story linear, and introduce the roguelite aspect after finishing it. It's fucking annoying to play Ms Schizo and have to start from the beginning at each death. Minus X hours of your life.
And I don't know if it evolves since I never finished it (went to the gimmick floating boss), but the gameplay wasn't that good, it was average.

The gunplay is excellent, amazingly fun combat. The roguelite aspect is clearly just slapped on to sell this game to normies who never heard of the genre though. Your main source of power is the gun you find, the artifacts hardly matter. It should just have been a linear game
Also, I really don't care about the MC's tragic backstory

Is just that i really loved the game. I didnt mind the roguelike shit. You were at the end of the run anyhow.
Game is built around 3 biome runs. Once you finished that boss you would have opened the 2nd half of the game which is a different 3 biome run.
As you said it, it is what it is. Not all games are for everybody.

What? It's not 6 biomes? The floating boss is the "last" boss (or some kind of variant)? Damn
Okay maybe the game is not THAT bad, I really thought it had 5-6 biomes to finish the game, so I figured a run was 3-4h.

You start the game and its those 3 biomes (jungle where you crashed, desert/mountain climb, city).
After that you have a big ass cutscene that has a really neat moment on it and you open a second "run" which has 3 new biomes. You finish that run to finish the story and open the chance to do the "real ending".
You can run either "half" when you want but they are just 3 biomes each, you can't run the 6 on a single run

>You are missing on a legit game.
I'm missing on nothing, I have another 900 games to play. Market is so oversaturated I can never miss out on filtering dogshit I don't like the look of. There's so many games in fact, that I can be as petty as I want in filtering out games. If this makes marketers and corporate bootlickers like you mad, then it's a good day.

You just said all you needed to say about how low you subconsciously rate Returnal.
You still have no argument. If this is the intelligence level of you shills, no wonder the game flopped.

>worrying
How can one worry about a flop?
Who do you think people will side with, a person who offers them liberty of choice and freedom from the "fear of missing out" that corporate marketing had developed to gaslight, exploit, and manipulate masses; or a shill like you who wants to gaslight them into one specific direction and force them into a fallacy of limited choice?
This is why you faggots keep failing every time you make this thread. Your very baseline morality, ethics, and psychology are flawed. This is not a matter of comparing games, it's a matter of philosophy, and yours is tainted in deceit and corporate bootlicking. Nobody should give authority to a submissive cuckold kissing a corporate product, it's like listening to a pedophile preach about morality.

Pretty close. The entire game takes place in her mind, she lost her son in a car accident, then later commits suicide via jumping her car off a bridge and the whole game is basically her personal purgatory

It barely broke even on development budget, which still doesn't cover the marketing losses.
Also next time you try to "spread words", try not to lie about a game, and try not to pull limited choice fallacies like a corporate marketer.
Trying to act innocent is a cute cover story though. Too bad the spam for this shit as inauthentic as Ass Shit Yasuke.

I thought that was gonna be a neat twist.
You got rejected but stole a ship or whatever and this is an unsanctioned mission but end up finding something so cool that the Nasa (or w/e) have to acknowledge you blablabla.
I mentioned earlier that the game would have benefitted from being more streamlined story wise, there is quite a lot open to interpretation.
And for what is worth, the other anon's interpretation is not the only one, what seems to be agreed upon is that the game happens 100% on her mind probably on the seconds just before she died

The answer to the question is you might have brain damage. Returnal doesnโ€™t actually take advantage of the adaptive triggers, it just leaves a button completely unbound in order to use half press for alt fire by default, and alt fire is horrific on (almost) every weapon and you can platinum the game without using it one single time. Youโ€™re better served rebinding it so you donโ€™t get caught in a mistake mid fight.
As far as โ€œwhat games make the trigger jam and pull in a way as completely opposite to how any firearm works in real life as you could possibly getโ€ then CoD for sure and most other FPS games on the PS5. I donโ€™t know how well they ported the functionality to PC if thatโ€™s what youโ€™re asking.

You can't cope with someone putting forward the notion that there's 900 games that can be played instead of one forced ugly meme with shit writing, giving people the awareness of freedom of choice, so your immediate tactic is to state that they hate everything even though they made the quantitative argument that FOMO doesn't exist if this one turd is ignored.
Interesting cognitive dissonance, I'm sure everyone is too stupid to notice it. Well they aren't, which is why these threads always devolve into you being made to look like a retard and a shit game being rightfully shat on for the corporate marketing.

Lots of /v/tards are idiots and this started out as an exclusive too so there's that.
Whining about FeMC not looking like generic Korean blow-up doll was retarded.
Atmosphere and audio are really top notch.
Best weapon for me was Electro pylon driver, the kind where you shoot solo stakes, not whole nets.
Extremely good for boss fights because of it's fire-and-forget nature, so you can focus on dodging while the boss gets damaged over time.
Also easy to use for defensive purposes like against the homing underwater enemies that attack in swarms.

You can disagree all you want, you've lost the privilege of trust or good faith after so many inorganic, inauthentic, and toxic threads about this turd, with all the forced marketing and forced spam that happened. It's the same as with Concord, literally the same arguments against criticisms as well, same as with Ass Shit, same as with that one Microshart flop I already forgot the name of.
These threads don't care about freedom of choice, so you lie on that front, and we know because the masks falls off the moment you argue there's some kind of FOMO to be had about ignoring this particular game; which is done in every thread about this game like a corporate bot. So, there's nothing more to say except repeat the same fact - shill elsewhere while expecting nothing but toxic positivity. Take your shit to BlueSky or RetardEra.

it's actually quite different from Nier although it shares some 3d shmup DNA. The movement and shooting mechanics add a whole other dimension, not to mention the more arcadey feel of Returnal due to its roguelite, run-based nature.

>>714673634
I'm not a Retroonal shill though, so right back at you. 4 years you've been spamming the same slop which gets only negative engagement compared to every other game thread. There's a reason to it, that new anons can grasp for themselves. Your shit stinks.

Nobody will even notice Saros being released, you spoiled it in advance by your shameless shilling of Returnal.
It's the case of a mediocre game being shilled by a toxic trooner community of corporate bootlickers with cognitive dissonance and presskit marketing buzzwords.
That's why you were told to fuck off back to BlueSky and RetardEra where your kind can have all the filtered, inorganic, toxically positive threads you want about this slop. You are like the Dragon Age Veilguard of bullet hells.

Regardless of that anon, quality will speak for itself and his droning will be easily drowned out IF Saros is actually a good game - Housemarque imo has built enough goodwill from Returnal that if they follow it up with a higher budget game that matches the predecessor's quality it should do extremely well.

Can we talk about Retunal's artwork? And Returnal's obvious inspiration from not Dark Souls, but Metroid & Alien 1979 ?

Even the main character looks like a weird mix between Sigourney Weaver and Michael Fassbender from Prometheus. Or maybe just a female version of Michael Fassbender.

My favorite boss is Hyperion because Don't Fear the Reaper plays the entire time you are navigating up the tower, closer to him.

https://youtu.be/Dy4HA3vUv2c?list=RDDy4HA3vUv2c

Favorite gun? Not sure. I think it's probably the ones that lay darts that connect to other darts to make red electric field traps. Works wonderfully by shooting multiple enemies which casts a wide field to hurt other enemies.

I was super excited to see them coming out with another game "Saros". I really really hope they put it out on PC same day.

During one of the runs in one of those safe areas in a biome where you can buy items i saw a small astronaut on a ledge but when i looked around a bit and climbed up there he was gone. Am i going crazy or is that a thing? Worst part is the astronaut actually scared me during the house sequences so iโ€˜m not sure

Thoughts on saros having more metaprogression that will make each run easier? I actually liked the lack of that in returnal because it meant that i only got further in a run because i got better and not because i became stronger.

There is a limited amount of enemies per biome and the weapon level powerup is weighted so it gives more weapon xp the lower your level is, so you can skip rooms or biomes altogether and still reach a decent level.

The astronaut is a manifestation of the guilt from abandoning her disabled mother (which was a real honest to god astronaut) and from the death of her son whom she might have aborted.
The story is not 100% clear, there is a lot open to interpretation.

>>714677921
Never stop moving in combat, master the timed reload, use the strangling vines to climb up ledges, barriers that need a button to open always have the button nearby in the same room, keep unlocking traits for the weapons, after every biome you get a metroidvania upgrade to explore more so when you wipe you can explore more rooms to get more upgrades, a bunch of parasites are simply upgrades with little to no downsides, beware if you have 3 malfunctions on your suit as picking a 4th malfunction instead deletes one of your trinkets
Dont get hung on the story, it will not make a lot of sense, is more about the vibe

Learn enemy bullet patterns. Explore. Take it slow. Look for weapon upgrades. If you have a weapon that shows a grayed out option with 0%, use the weapon until you unlock that upgrade.
If you're low health, there is almost always a green resin somewhere on the map.
Don't be afraid to melee enemies.
Red shielded enemies have to be meleed first.
Get good reloading, it makes a world of difference.
Try not to get hit as you'll gain max efficiency.
Expect to die a lot.
The story is told over DOZENS of runs.

I pirated this shit and have remorse in wasting my time and SSD space.
Gameplay is nothing special, it's a 6/10. Everything else in the game is so fucking dogshit though, graphics, style, soundtrack, story, everything is so dogshit it's not worth more than $5 and not worth the gameplay and time waste.
Get Furi instead, it's a fraction of the price, and twice the sales and fanbase if not more. Has actual artistic value unlike this trashfire.
